WTAE Channel 4 Action News reporter Shannon Perrine went to Point State Park in downtown Pittsburgh to see what people thought about the plan.

"I think they should ban it," non-smoker Julia Valeriano said. "It's not healthy, and I know a lot of people don't enjoy the secondhand smoke."

"It's against my rights to be able to do what I need to do," smoker Marissa Polk said. "I mean, it's by choice if I want to smoke. It's not like they're telling me either you smoke or not. It's my choice, I should be allowed to do what I need to do, and it's not like I'm fazing anyone. I stay away. I'm not burning anyone. I'm not running into anyone."

"If the children are sitting here eating, and got someone at that table smoking, and the air's coming this way, all of a sudden the children are breathing it," he said.

McKees Rocks recently banned smoking in its municipal parks in the borough.

"Unfortunately, we have a group of parents that used to come up to the park all the time, but because of the ban on smoking, we've probably lost probably 80 percent of them, because they do smoke," Councilwoman Maribeth Taylor said.

"I'm not for reversing it," DiCicco said. "I figure you just let it go along, and eventually they'll adapt to it. And that's what I'm hoping, because it's a beautiful park."
